Harry Potter First Limited Edition Print

As you have probably found out by reading up on your favourite character portrait in its description box, you’ll have read that each one of de shan’s illustrations are created by request from her loyal customers and social media followers, and they are freehand – singularly made from the cross-hatching and intricate plan work of fine felt tip and ballpoint pens.  This involves hundreds and thousands of lines which take countless hours. This process is known as pen and ink crosshatching and is a very intricate and painstakingly time-consuming process. de shan’s discipline, concentration and attention to details gives each piece a life of its own.

Once finished each drawing is then scanned and the favourite drawings are put in the line to be coloured digitally for printing. During the colouring process de Shan creates layers and layers of colour applied using the mouse as a paintbrush, which  gives a more freehand look and vibrancy of colour.

At that point, each character goes on to have its own print made, but these Limited Editions are special – de Shan spends a few more hours to create a collaged group of characters, arranging and creating an interesting background and then printing them on a 300gsm fine art paper  with fade-proof inks.

She then hand-embellishes them individually with glitter, gold paint and glow-in-the-dark paint* to create an original print, which are all signed and numbered in a limited run of 50-100.

* To activate the glow, simply shine a bright light on the illustration for a few minutes prior to turning out the lights. Watch in amazement as the areas glow subtly for an hour. Repeat each time you wish to see the glow, or maybe your illustration sits in a bright sunny area and will glow at night on its own. Glow-in-the-dark lasts about a year and can be re-applied.

Each print is finished with a white mat board window mount and backing board made in the UK at a fine paper mill. We then sleeve the matted print in cellophane for protection.

We are happy to frame your piece(s) for you for an additional cost, we can discuss this via email. Framed artwork also requires special packaging, so please expect higher charges.
